Spotlight on: Mike McClean

Many of you will have enjoyed Mike in panto in Derby over the last few years. Most recently he played 'Wishee Washee' in Aladdin at the Derby Arena.

You may also be a fan of Mike as TV presenter and actor on The Big Breakfast, Richard & Judy, The Office and more recently playing Finn’s Dad in My Fat Diary for E4.

He originally trained as an actor, at the Arden School of Theatre in Manchester. However, after leaving college Mike gravitated towards stand-up comedy and quickly broke onto the circuit with a comedy magic act.

He was soon spotted by a TV producer from Nickelodeon and went on to front several shows for the channel, including Nick AM, a live daily breakfast show. He later joined ITV to present the kids game show It's Not Fair, followed by 2 series of Mad for It, a live children's show, he devised, for ITV.

If you missed Mike’s stand-up show in Derby earlier this year, or enjoyed it so much you’d like to see it again, here is another chance to catch him for one night only on Friday 29th April.

Join Mike and Karen for an evening of top class comedy which will have you laughing and rolling about on the floor. As part of the evening Mike will also perform his alternative mind-reading act.
